**Sang**

After we left the house, I stayed attached to Victor's side. The boys formed a barrier around us, separating me from the outside world. They took me back to my room, so that I could grab my phone, the charger, and a change of clothes. After today's revelation they wanted us all together tonight, and I couldn't find any reason not to stay with them. All 10 of us sat in my cramped little room, trying to figure out our next move. I was in Victor's lap on my bed, with North and Silas. Nathan, Lucian, and Gabriel, were on Kayli's bed, and Kota and Sean were in the window seat. Leaving Owen to stand by the door; I didn't think it was right, but he insisted.

"How are you feeling Aggele?" Silas asked me.

"Hurt, and hungry. Really hungry." I say while putting my head in the crook of Victor's neck.

"You handled that very well Sang. There are many ways that altercation could have taken a turn for the worse." Owen commends me.

"I know." I mumble. "But I thought about it. And I know that I could have said any number of mean and hurtful things back to her, but that wouldn't have helped the situation. Anything I could have said would have ground what is left of our relationship into the dust. I don't want that for us. I'd like to think that we could get past this, eventually."

"Your heart is so big Pookie." Sean says to me.

I shrug. I don't see how my heart can be bigger than anyone else's. If anything, I'd say that my past experiences have allowed me to be more compassionate towards others and their hardships.

"He's right Sang." Kota tells me. "You were the bigger person today. I hope she doesn't take too long in realizing that her anger is only hurting her."

"That chicks anger issues are worse than North's." Lucian comments.

North grunts in what I can assume is agreement. A ping is heard around the room and everyone takes out their phones to see who's it is. Owen seems to be the lucky winner.

"What is it Owen?" Sean asks him.

"It seems Miss. Winchester needs her keys. She'd like to stay in her own bed tonight."

"Shocker." I mumble into Victor's neck.

I feel his chest vibrate with his chuckle.

"Did I miss something?" Nathan asks.

"Sang?" Owen prompts me.

"While we were arguing, I may or may not have said something along the lines of how she hardly ever sleeps in her own bed anymore."

"So where's she been sleeping?" Kota asks.

"Depends on which boy is available." I mumble.

Victor, Silas and North, being the only ones near me, start to laugh.

"Remind me never to get on your bad side Pookie."

"I think that goes for all of us." Lucian comments.

There are nods all around the room and Owen brings up the second part of my answer.

"Where would you like to go to eat Sang?"

"It doesn't really matter to me." I tell him.

Gabriel goes into my closet to pack an overnight bag for me while the boys try to decide on what they are all in the mood for. North grabs Kayli's keys to go and put them in Brandon's room. I just curl up into Victor's chest and try not to think about anything but how at peace I feel with all of my boys around me. Damnit, I can't keep doing that! One day I'm going to slip up and actually say it out loud.

"Hey Princess? Are you listening?" Victor asks me.

"Not in the slightest." I say while curling into him more.

"Sweetie, are you comfortable?" Kota asks me.

"Very." I mumble.

I nuzzle into Victor again while they all laugh.

"What are we laughing about?" North asks as he comes back into the room.

"Peanut not being able to listen and cuddle at the same time." Nathan tells him.

"Baby can you hear me?" North asks me.

"Yes North Star."

"What were they talking about Baby?"

"Something about food. Personally I'm too comfortable to care."

"See, she's listening. She just doesn't care."

"Brilliant deduction little bro." Lucian comments.

"Pretty sure there's nothing little about him." Shit, did I just say that out loud?

"Got that right Baby." North says while chuckling.

"Way to kill a man's confidence Aggele."

"Victor I need food, why aren't they still talking about food?" I whine to him.

"You never told us what you wanted Princess."

"I want food!" I wine again.

"Haha, yes Princess, but what kind of food?"

"The kind that tastes good?"

"You like pasta right Princess?"

"Yes."

"Italian good with everybody?"

Affirmatives are heard around the room and we all head out to the cars. We end up at the same Olive Garden that Victor took me to for our date. The boys order a variety of different pasta dishes, and I get the tour of Italy, so that I can have a little of each. I end up not finishing my food, so we pack the rest up in a to-go container. When we arrive back at the Academy house, Kayli and her boys are gone. We head downstairs to the game room, where we'll be having our sleepover. It's the only space big enough to accommodate all of us comfortably.

When we get downstairs, I see that the game room has been transformed into sleepover paradise. The couches have been pushed off to the sides, and in the center of the room is a big pallet of blankets and pillows.

"Go change in the bathroom Trouble, I'll come get you when were done." Gabriel says while handing me my bag.

I go into the bathroom under the stairs and change out of my clothes, into a pair of grey sleep shorts and a white cami with a built in bra. I fix my hair up into a high ponytail, and sit on the toilet to wait for Meanie. I decide to check my phone for any texts or calls I might've missed between yesterday and now. I see a few missed calls and texts from the boys, up until around the time North came to my room, all asking if I'm alright. What surprises me, are the text from Kayli. No phone calls, just texts.

Kayli (11:15am): Sang, I'm really sorry about last night. It wasn't even about you really.

Kayli (12:00pm): Sang please talk to me. I know you feel your phone vibrating.

Kayli (3:26pm): Are they telling you not to talk to me? I never thought you'd let them run your life.

Kayli (4:00pm): Ok that was a little mean, come on Sang. You know I didn't mean it.

Kayli (4:10pm): Sang just talk to me!

Kayli (4:15pm): Did they take you phone? Is that why you're not answering me?

Kayli (6:00pm): Hey! Whichever douche has her phone, let her talk to me!

Kayli (7:15pm): Sang I'm so sorry.

Her last message was sent after we left the house. I can't believe she would think that about them. That she would say that about them. I can't believe her! What alien monster has abducted my best friend and replaced her with this hateful clone? I can't deal with this right now. I turn my phone on silent and go back to waiting for my boys to be ready.

Gabriel knocks on the door soon after, and we go out to rejoin the boys. Have I died and ended up in hotness heaven? All of the boys are in various states of comfort. North, Silas and Nathan, are shirtless with basketball shorts on. Kota, Victor, Owen and Sean, have on pajama pants with t-shirts in their favorite colors. While Gabriel has on black pajama pants with an orange ribbed tank shirt, and Lucian is wearing blue pajama pants; nothing else. I think they've made it their mission to have me spontaneously combust.

"Sang Baby, you're catching flies." North comments with a smirk.

"Yea well, you would too if you were me." I reply, snapping out of my boy haze.

"See something you like Aggele?" Silas asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course she does, just look at me." Sean and Lucian say at the same time, then start laughing.

I know the perfect way to end their teasing. It's a little dirty, but I can't let my face flame anymore. I pout and cross my arms, leaning into Meanie.

"Oy, Trouble! Pop that lip back in. Stop teasing her you fuckers!" Gabriel comes to my defense.

"Hey, Peanut. You gonna let him talk to us like that?" Nathan asks with his own pout.

"Yup." I say, popping the P.

"That's not fair." Lucian pouts.

"What about us Princess?" Victor asks me.

"Those who have on shirts are safe." I tell them. "But not by much." I giggle.

"Thank you for the heads up, Miss. Sorenson." Owen says while pulling me into him.

I place my hand on his chest, taking a step back.

"Nice try Owen, we're not in the classroom right now." I tell him.

"Quite right Pookie." Sean says, pulling me into his own embrace. "How are you feeling?"

"Much better now Sean. Thanks to all of you." I say while looking at my boys.

"Anything for you Trouble." Meanie states, "Now who's ready for some games?"

There are some grumblings heard around the room, but they all stop when I say, "How about truth or dare?"

"Feeling brave Peanut?" Nathan asks me.

"Feeling adventurous Honey." I wink in his direction.

"Then let's do it." He replies.

We all get on the floor into a circle and I somehow end up between Owen and Sean. In order, It's me, Owen to my right, then Kota, North, Silas, Victor, Nathan, Lucian, Gabriel, Sean. Lucian goes first.

"Hey Cupcake, what's the rule on kiss dares?" Lucian asks me.

"Still outlawed Lucian." I tell him.

"Drat, ok. Truth or dare Cupcake?"

"Truth."

"What's your dream job?"

"Wow Luke, asking something that isn't centered around you. I'm impressed." North laughs out.

"Whatever." Lucian blows him off with a grin. "Cupcake?"

"I'm not really sure. I know that I want to help people. Anyway I can do that I guess." I shrug.

"Good answer Pookie." Sean whispers in my ear.

"Alright, my turn." Meanie announces. "Vic, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Ooh's are heard all around. Victor just smirks in his direction and winks at me.

"Alright. I dare you to swap clothes with Luke for the rest of the game.

"Ah man, he's gone commando hasn't he?" Victor asks with a laugh.

"Right you are my brother." Lucian chuckles. "Let's go."

They both get up to change in the bathroom and come out wearing each other's clothes. If I thought Victor was handsome before, swing him shirtless makes him all the more beautiful. The neat planes of his chest and abdominal muscles are simply breathtaking. And knowing that he's now without boxers makes me blush heavily. He winks at me and retakes his seat across from me. Sean goes next.

"Owen, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to sing the last song you listened to on your phone." Sean tells him with a shit eating grin.

I look over at Owen and see his cheeks tinted pink while he glares at Sean.

"Owen? What was the last song you listened to?" I ask him with a smile.

"Show her your phone Owen." Sean cackles.

"Owen?" I ask with my hand out.

He begrudgingly reaches into his pajama pocket and pulls out his phone, unlocking it and passes it to me. I navigate his phone easily and pull up his music app. What I see as the last song that was played definitely surprises me. I go into the YouTube app and pull up the instrumental of the song, and press play. Owen stands up and does a full production.

ꭊClimb on board, we'll go slow and high tempo.

Light and dark. Hold me hard and mellow.

I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure

Nobody but you, body but me, body us

Bodies together.ꭊ

Owen has an amazing voice! Oh my God. He really is perfect. He gets down on his knees right in front of me and takes my hand.

ꭊSo we'll piss off the neighbors

In a place that feels the tears

The place to lose your fears yeah

Reckless behavior

A place that is so pure

So dirty and raw.ꭊ

He winks at me, then gets up to finish singing. My cheeks are on fire, and the guys are all laughing and hooting. Everyone is having a good time, and I praise Sean for this dare.

ꭊReckless behavior

A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw

Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day

Fucking in, fighting on

It's our paradise and it's our war zone

It's our paradise and it's our war zoneꭊ

Once Owen finishes, he sits back down and my body has officially turned red from all the blushing. I feel my phone vibrate and look to see a message from Lucian. I look to him in question and open up the text. It's a video message showing me and Owen during his performance. It clearly shows the blush and I burry my face in my hands while laughing.

"Woah, look at that blush!" Nathan exclaims.

"Póso makriá chreiázetai gia na páei Aggele? (How far does it go Angel?)" Silas asks.

I hear a smack before North says "Dirty Greek" with a chuckle. We play for a few more rounds until I start to yawn.

"Miss. Sorenson, before we settle for bed, there's something we wanted to speak to you about." Owen says to me.

"Oooo, Miss. Sorenson. Must be serious." I say with a chuckle. I see the boys all look at each other, doing that silent eye speak that I've come to recognize and envy, and quickly sober up. "What is it?"

"It has come to our attention that quite a few of us wish to pursue a more romantic relationship with you. We wanted to know if it would be acceptable with you, if we all were to date you." He tells me.

"You want to date me? All of you?" I ask astonished.

"Yes." He replies.

"And you all agree to this?" I ask them.

They all make various forms of agreement while I sit stunned.

"We know that it may not be an easy rode, no relationship is, but if you want, this is something we'd like to try." Kota tells me. "We'll do our best to make this as easy as possible, jealously may rise up every now and then but I'm sure it's something we can handle."

And that would be my main worry. They all have such different personalities and I haven't even really gotten the opportunity to know some of them that well...but I'd like to. I think that's what makes me make a decision, I'd like to know them better. If they think that dating me is something they want to do, then they obviously feel the same, right?

"Ok...if this is something that you all think you'd like to do, then I agree. I'd like to know you all better, and I think this might be a good solution." I smile at them.

Theyall give me the biggest smiles, like I've really given them something they allwanted. With that out of the way we all lay down, and Kota puts a movie intothe DVD player. I couldn't even tell you which movie it was, or what it wasabout, because right after the opening credits, my eyes close and refuse toopen. This was a good ending to a very dramatic day.
